Activity over Melbourne - 2.
It's back again. C208, up pretty high, sight unseen. Around and around she goes. Lots of "mapping" activities going on I'm sure It's certainly a regular visitor to the skies over Melbourne from at least 6pm onwards usually, but possibly that's only when you start to hear it as road noise etc dies down.
You are spot on. I rely heavily on my Google Maps and I'm glad they are continually updating them.

The Nearmap image quality is light years ahead of Google Maps Squawk, good enough to pick out a lawn rake left out on a back lawn and updated every 10 - 20 days depending on location so you could even tell if the lawn was mowed last week. Access was free for a while when they first kicked off but now it is by subscription.

If its doing Police surveillance I trust they are saving the Australian Taxpayer some money by 'Multi Tasking' the Aircraft.
I've never seen a C208 with curtains in the cabin.
Possibly selling the cabin space for 'Mile High' punters while doing some 'Police' work.
Hence flying above 6000'.
Just a theory!
I'm not. I've always livied at No XY, until I checked last night, now I live at No YZ! Don't trust them...

So that's way they spend so much time over Melbourne! That is where all the dopes are!
Google maps or Nearmap. I hope we are not going to be mapdebating about which one is better.
This one is for the nutjob crowd. They are actually filling the air with chemtrail seeds.
Well it's certainly costing the airlines a bit of petrol dosh - I, along with a bunch of other inbound jets from the south last night, had an ATC requirement to be at or < 9000' by 40nm MEL to get beneath it...
